Tropical Storm Felix

Tropical Storm Felix is the 6th storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.

It formed over the Windward Islands at the edge of the Caribbean early Saturday and is now near Grenada, with top sustained winds of 40 mph.

The National Hurricane Center (located in Miami, Florida) said tropical storm warnings have been issued for the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area within the next 24 hours.

Forecasters also said Felix is bringing a lot of heavy rain. They look for it to strengthen over the next day.
